Responsorial Psalm | Ps. 23 The Lord Is My Shepherd

The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I shall want,
The Lord is my shepherd:
there is nothing I shall want.

R./ The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I shall want,
The Lord is my shepherd:
there is nothing I shall want.

He lets me rest in open fields so green.
He leads me to the quiet streams.
He gives me strength and guides me in His ways.
He renews His promises each day.

R./ The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I shall want,
The Lord is my shepherd:
there is nothing I shall want.

He is my guide, my shepherd and my king,
and in my fear He offers peace.
Though I walk through the valley, I will not be afraid.
You will protect me; I’ll be saved.

R./ The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I shall want,
The Lord is my shepherd:
there is nothing I shall want.

Preparation | Altar of Hope (Be Still)

Quiet your spirit
Open your heart
Draw close and enter
just as you are

All are invited
together with Heaven
and witness the myst’ry
at the altar of hope

Be still, be still and know that He is God
Be still, be still and know that He is God

Though earth be shaken
though mountains quake
God is our refuge
where fear fades away

Rest in the silence
and be filled with His peace
as grace overtakes us
at the altar of hope

Be still, be still and know that He is God
Be still, be still and know that He is God

We place at the altar
the gifts of ourselves
Our prayers of thanksgiving
together are blessed

With anticipation
in the stillness we wait
Our off’ring returns to
us at the altar of hope

Be still, be still and know that He is God
Be still, be still and know that He is God
Be still, be still and know that He is God
Be still, be still and know that He is God

Communion | Here I Am

Refrain
Here I am, standing right beside you
Here I am; do not be afraid
Here I am, waiting like a lover
I am here; here I am

Verses
Do not fear when the tempter calls you
Do not fear even though you fall
Do not fear; I have conquered evil
Do not fear; never be afraid

I am here in the face of ev’ry child
I am here in ev’ry warm embrace
I am here with tenderness and mercy
Here I am; I am here

I am here in the midst of ev’ry trial
I am here in the face of despair
I am here when pardoning your brother
Here I am; I am here

Reflection | I Know That My Redeemer Lives

I know that my Redeemer lives
the One who calls me home
I long to see God face to face
to see with my own eyes

I know that my Redeemer lives
that I shall rise again
I know that my Redeemer lives
that I shall rise again

I know that I shall one day see
the goodness of the Lord
when God will wipe away our tears
and death will be no more

I know that my Redeemer lives
that I shall rise again
I know that my Redeemer lives
that I shall rise again

The last day I shall rise again
shall be remade like God
My home shall be by God’s own side
the dying, rising Lord

I know that my Redeemer lives
that I shall rise again
I know that my Redeemer lives
that I shall rise again

Closing | On Eagle’s Wings

You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord
who abide in His shadow for life
say to the Lord, “My refuge, my rock in whom I trust”

And He will raise you up on eagle’s wings
Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand
And hold you in the palm of His hand

The snare of the fowler will never capture you
and famine will bring you no fear
under His wings your refuge
His faithfulness your shield

And He will raise you up on eagle’s wings
Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand
And hold you in the palm of His hand

Gathering | Everlasting God

Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
we will wait upon the Lord
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
we will wait upon the Lord
we will wait upon the Lord

Our God, You reign forever
Our Hope, our strong Deliverer

You are the Everlasting God, the Everlasting God
You do not faint
You won’t grow weary
You’re the defender of the weak
You comfort those in need
You lift us up on wings like eagles

Repeat all

I will bless the Lord at all times
His praise shall be in my mouth
Let my soul glory in the Lord
the lowly will hear and be glad

Preparation | Better Than a Hallelujah

God loves a lullaby
in a mother’s tears in the dead of night
better than a Hallelujah sometimes

God loves a drunkard’s cry
the soldier’s plea not to let him die
better than a Hallelujah sometimes

We pour out our miseries
God just hears the melody
Beautiful the mess we are
the honest cries of breaking hearts
are better than a Hallelujah

A woman holding on for life
a dying man giving up the fight
are better than a Hallelujah sometimes

Tears of shame for what’s been done
the silence when the words won’t come
are better than a Hallelujah sometimes

We pour out our miseries
God just hears the melody
Beautiful the mess we are
the honest cries of breaking hearts
are better than a Hallelujah

Better than a church bell ringing
better than a choir singing out
singing out

We pour out our miseries
God just hears the melody
Beautiful the mess we are
the honest cries of breaking hearts
are better than a Hallelujah

Oh, I need You
Every hour, I need You

Every hour, I need You
My one defense
My righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

Closing | In the Day of the Lord

In the day of the Lord

free from want

Gathering | Amazing Grace

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see

Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come
‘Tis grace has brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

When we’ve been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun

Reflection | Sino Ako

Hiram sa Diyos ang aking buhay
Ikaw at ako’y tanging handog lamang
Di ko ninais na ako’y isilang
Ngunit salamat dahil may buhay
Ligaya ko
ang ako’y isilang
Pagkat tao ay mayroong dangal

Sino’ng may pag ibig?
Sino’ng nagmamahal?
Kung di ang tao
Diyos ang pinagmulan
Kung di ako umibig
Kung di ko man bigyang halaga
Ang buhay na handog
Ang buhay ko’ng hiram sa Diyos
Kung di ako nagmamahal
Sino ako?

Reflection (Alternate) | I Will Be Here

Tomorrow morning if you wake up,
And the sun does not appear
I…I will be here

If in the dark we lose sight of love,
Hold my hand, and have no fear
Cause I…I will be here

I will be here when you feel like being quiet
When you need to speak your mind,
I will listen and
I will be here when the laughter turns to cryin’
Through the winning, losing and tryin’
We’ll be together ’cause I will be here

Tomorrow morning if you wake up,
And the future is unclear
I…I will be here

As sure as seasons are made for change,
Our lifetime’s are made for years
So, I…I will be here

I will be here and you can cry on my shoulder,
When the mirror tells us we’re older,
I will hold you and
I will be here to watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me

I will be here
I will be true to the promise I have made
To you and to the One who gave you to me
I…I will be here

And just as sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetime’s are made for years
So, I…I will be here we’ll be together
I will be here

Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand
And hold you in the palm of His hand

We cry, “My Lord and God
You are my Lord and God
You are my Lord and God
You will always be the Lord of all of me”

Help then O Lord our unbelief
And may our faith abound
To call on You when You are near
And seek where You are found

In realms of clearer light
We may behold You as You are
In full and endless sight

“My Lord and God
You are my Lord and God
You are my Lord and God
You will always be the Lord of all of me”

I believe You were born of a virgin’s womb
I believe You’re the Way, the Life, the Truth
I believe that You died so that we might live
I believe, I believe

I believe that You rose through the Father’s love
I beleive in the Spirit You breathed on us
Lord, I know though I doubt You will stand by me
Help my unbelief

“My Lord and God
You are my Lord and God
You are my Lord and God
You will always be the Lord of all of me”
